The self-represented appellant appealed a Small Claims Court decision dismissing his claim for $25,000 against the respondent for allegedly negligent truck maintenance.
The appellant claimed the respondent allowed rainwater into his truck's fuel system during a roadside repair, causing extensive engine damage.
The trial judge dismissed the claim, finding the appellant failed to prove causation and noting the absence of expert evidence.
On appeal, the Superior Court of Justice found no error of law or palpable and overriding error of fact in the trial judge's assessment of the evidence and dismissed the appeal.
